In this episode, we talk Ray Batra. Ray is the founder of Shift_Up, a startup in Detroit that has pioneered the Learning Gym - a place where that uses mentorship, guidance, and community to facilitate the online learning experience. In our interview, we talk with Ray about his journey through life, the principles behind Shift_Up, and the models they use to create a learning experience. We hit subjects like human values and human flourishing, the value and focus of education, differing models of education, the difference in experience between non- and for-profit business, burnout and professional drive, helping underserved communities, and the macro and micro problems with current online learning platforms. We even take a few audience questions at the end.
